Assessing the Possible Effect of Depression on Driving Behavior: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background: Driving as a complex behavior pattern is influenced by a set of conscious and unconscious factors. One of the most important causes of traffic accidents in Iran is human factors, which include the driver's mental status, personality traits, mental illnesses, or psychiatric disorders. Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders affecting driving behavior. Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine whether depression may affect driving performance. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 100 participants who were divided into two groups, patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and the healthy control group. Driving behavior was assessed by the Manchester Driving Behavior Questionnaire (MDBQ), and three computerized tests [Tower of London Test, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), and reaction time] were used to evaluate the participants’ neuropsychiatric characteristics. The results were compared between the two groups using SPSS version 19. Results: There were 51 cases in the MDD group (male = 59%, female = 41%) and 50 patients in the non-depressed group (male = 22%, female = 78%). The mean age of the group with MDD and the control group was 38 ± 8 and 36 ± 9 years, respectively, with no significant differences (P = 0.23). The results showed that the highest mean reaction time (875 ± 198, P = 0.018) was related to the depressed non-risky drivers, and the depressed risky drivers showed the worse function in all domains of WCST (trials to complete first category: 28 ± 23, P = 0.002, total error: 33 ± 9, P = 0.001, and perseveration error: 15 ± 9, P = 0.009) in comparison with another group.

It is the official journal of Brain and Spinal Injury Research Center. The Major theme of this journal is to follow the path of scientific collaboration, spontaneity, and goodwill for the future, by providing up-to-date knowledge for the readers. The journal aims at covering different fields, as the name implies, ranging from research in basic and clinical sciences to core topics such as patient care, education, procuring and correct utilization of resources and bringing to limelight the cherished goals of the institute in providing a standard care for the physically disabled patients. This quarterly journal offers a venue for our researchers and scientists to vent their innovative and constructive research works. The scope of the journal is as far wide as the universe as being declared by the name of the journal, but our aim is to pursue our sacred goals in providing a panacea for the intractable ailments, which leave a psychological element in the daily life of such patients. This authoritative clinical and basic journal was founded by Professor Madjid Samii in 2012.
